Smartass. Current Wisconsinite. Formerly lived in a metal tube underwater. Does not suffer fools gladly, or at all. Anecdotes are not data. Come for the snark, stay for the tiny dog photos. Man, I love my wife.

-federal gov’t
-state gov’t
-the economy
-freedom of speech
-well regulated militia
-climate change
-insurance

-immigration
I anticipate dying before I finish.

This is a really good piece
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The way we talk about the economy as positioned the losses of workers as male losses, wrong and threatening because of the way they endanger male status. But women are workers, too, and they deserve dignity and decent wages.

My mother's mother dropped out of sixth grade to pick cotton in the Depression. They needed the money that an eleven-year-old's labor could produce.
It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

I recently realized that the focus on digestion, gut health, and regularity of the past was likely because everyone just had food poisoning all the time from poor sanitation.

When Bovino and his gangsters produce a single spent slug or shell casing recovered at the alleged scene with third-party witnesses to said recovery, I'll withhold an initial judgment that this is utter fabricated horseshit.
Ogden and 26th Street at 11:30 a.m. today. Federal authorities claimed someone shot at their agents in Little Village this morning. They spent the next several hours circling the neighborhood, deploying chemical crowd controls and arresting people.
